I don't get the whole "we don't know what to do with F-Zero" thing that Nintendo keeps going back to when asked about when the next game is coming.
Do the same thing you have done with Mario Kart for the last 20 years. Some new characters, new tracks, new music, better graphics...that's all people want.
I agree with you on AC. I bought it, played it, "beat" the parts like maxing out my house, but once I do that I have zero interest in continuing to build my town or doing mundane tasks. I couldn't imagine putting 300hrs+ into any game, let alone one like that
And it's not unusual either. I can't think of the specific games, but I've read about other developers who started work using an IP they didn't own, then approaching the rights holders with what they had produced and getting the green light to continue. I think it may have even been Nintendo.

@GrandScribe
Both your statements couldn't be further from the truth 😂
Companies in the US lose trademark lawsuits all the time based on things as simple as a name or a word.
And stealing medical, military and other technologies is not part of "cheap labor".
Re: Tencent Has Patented Its Own Handheld Console, And It Looks A Lot Like A Nintendo Switch
China is widely known for stealing ideas/concepts from other companies. China creates nothing on their own.

If Kid Icarus is difficult to make sequels for, I guess that means Super Mario is very very very easy.
Re: Mario's 31st March Demise Gets Even Worse As Nintendo Pulls 35th-Anniversary Merch From Its Tokyo Store
I find this quite shocking.
I thought Nintendo would continue selling 35th anniversary merchandise well beyond the 35th anniversary, perhaps even into 2030.

You do realize that it's remarkably easy to still find every ROM for Nintendo systems from the 80's to the Switch in a matter of minutes, right?
A few of the "popular" ROM sites took them down, but they exist in torrents, Google drives, MEGA folders, etc.
They haven't been wiped from the internet as you seem to believe.

That's what happened, according to the devs.
And it's not unusual either. I can't think of the specific games, but I've read about other developers who started work using an IP they didn't own, then approaching the rights holders with what they had produced and getting the green light to continue. I think it may have even been Nintendo.
